Eight Mile Dispersed Camping near Government Wash — Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Reviewed Feb. 26, 2022

Long washboard road to trashy beaches

8 mile road is open to free dispersed camping for 7 days. There is a couple dumpsters about a 1/4 mile in but that is all for 2.1 miles of terrible washboard road down to the receding water line. No water, toilets, trash cans at beach areas. The limited beach areas tend to be hogged by folks trying to keep other campers at a distance. I found floating trash all along the shore, styerfoam, plastic bottles, ect. Ugh
